Silence is not golden

If you have a voice,Stop singingAnd shout for compassion. Love is the antidote for fear.Why and what do we fear?Let love answer your questions,Compelling youTo be..In the boat,Behind the veil,Under the intervention,MisunderstoodAnd marginalised.Let your voice cry out..Until grace fills the worldAnd love overcomes.Till then,We have a longAnd lonely journey.Silence makes our worldDulled,BlindnessSteals realityFrom being seen .All answers are silentUntil spoken.

There was a time

there was once a timewhen there were no words.no memory,not even a story to tell. There was a time that came beforeall that we have ever believed to be true,all that we have treasured,debated, studied, fought for and retained.For there was a time where only truth remained.there was no need for this truth to be taught,there was no need for consent or adherance,no need for disciples or scribes or chapters or verses,this truth was supported by itself.If we threw away everything and emptied our knowledge of it allit would still remain as true.Surely the great pilgrimageis to accept that in all that we know,we know very little.sometimes I feel like the antclimbing the first tile of the opera housetrying to reach the one above,blissfully unaware of the sails that soarInto the heavensabove my pursuit.

Sometimes

Sometimes I fear we are silent to the truthand rather loud to the less significant. Sometimes I fear that love is smothered And compassion is denied. Could it beThat the words we studyRemain lifelessArousing out angerWhilst silent to its inspiration.

About Me

I have lived the most amazing life. Through many adventures, some good, some not, some songs, a book or two, some highlights that I would like to remember and some that I have chosen to forget. I have learnt much, some by bitter experience, but, through all this, I have found a hope and peace that continually surprises me. My new songs, poems and writings attempt to reflect this journey.
